Young ICT Explorers Win State Final

Haileybury performed exceptionally well at the 2018 Young ICT Explorers State Final, taking first place in both the Years 7 and 8 and Years 9 and 10 Categories at the Burwood Campus of Deakin University.

The Young ICT Explorer competition enables students to apply what they learn in Computing and Digital Technologies to develop a technology related project of their choice.

The aim of the challenge is to inspire and encourage school students to not just use technology but also become creators and innovators of digital technology.

Both the girls and boys teams topped the competition this year with their innovative projects. The Year 7 Girls team designed an interactive baby high chair featuring a heat sensor, light up buttons and light sensors. These elements aim to entertain children and also provide important safety features.
